Hi Not So Fast, where did you get that front splitter ? It looks great ! It doesn't look like it sticks out as far as the zr1 splitter ,does it require the support bracket ?

Love my GS and good for you too!
perfect this answers my question about the stock splitter. The original owner had the ZR1 splitter but it was removed for some reason.

I agree with you on your list of mods, get the top and halo wrapped or painted black.
I will remove the front license plate at some point but it need to figure out what to do because my last car i had with no front plate I got a ticket everyday for a week for it. Meter maids are strict about no front plates here.

Welcome to the forum, and congratulations on that beautiful Vette. Enjoy, and don't forget to wave.
Also, there is a front plate option called the "stow, and go". It attaches under the front, and you can pivot it under the car if you don't want it to be seen.

BTW, don't let those folks at Hammy's (RIP my friend) Bar & Grill sway you. Us baser's are good people, and don't have to put as much oil in our cars.

Looks good! That's the one I am getting. Do you have the Front Fascia Reinforcement as well? If you do any easy way to spot if someone has it? My car originally had the same splitter but not sure if the Front Fascia Reinforcement is there as well.

VERY SAME EXACT CAR as mine!! But i have fewer mods... nothing really! I love my GS and i previously owned a 08 Z06 and a 09 ZR1!! Cant beat the topless!! For the splitter , i would get the zr1 carbon from C7 carbon, look 10 times better than black stock crap! You dont need nothing special. For your exhaust, wait till you hear a NPP cat back with headers and Xpipe!! Best sounding combo ever AND remain quiet when close let me know if you want more info! Mine is going on the dyno next week!

Default hash marks

I just applied my hashes on my 2012 GS... everyone told me not to do both sides. What's your feelings and understanding of one side or both?

Speaking of Mods.......here is how that Blade Silver looks all tinted out and with a black halo and roof.........I do like those red calipers on your car........

As they come from the factory, 2010-2013 GS have either NO hash stripes, or stripes on BOTH sides.

Single sided hash stripes are from another era.

I like the symmetry and factory look, so I added them on both fenders.

Yes, I installed the fascia reinforcement. It would be pretty hard to know if it's there or not without removing the bumper. You could try pushing down a little on the lower front part of the bumper and see how much movement you get... if you get any, you probably don't have the reinforcement.
I also have the carbon rear diffuser, carbon rear spoiler, and the carbon side skirts.

Cool Vette. Great color. But, if you have to run a front plate get a low mount from Top Flight.
